The University of Sheffield was founded over a hundred years ago, founded on the aspirations and financial support of the people of Sheffield. They wanted to establish a university which would benefit their economy, health and children.

We're a now world top-100 university, renowned for our teaching and research. We've shaped leading minds across the world, including five Nobel prize winners.

The University of Sheffield is also a member of the Russell Group of leading UK research universities. Our outstanding performance for excellent teaching and research, as part of a genuinely global community, is consistently confirmed by international independent assessments

We´ve been awarded six Queen's Anniversary Prizes, an award given to recognise the outstanding contributions to the intellectual, economic, cultural and social life of the nation. The Queen's Prize is the most distinguished award that can be made to a UK institution for higher or further education.
